[...] We had a short discussion about the vacation fund way back in the early days of this site. The are quite a few more visitors coming around these days and the vacation fund came back up again… so I’ve decided to open up the discussion again. Here’s a link to the original discussion http://weare344.com/are-you-prepared-for-a-strike [...]

I don’t think a strike would help anybody’s situation right now, but as a person who can’t strike due to being under a national agreement, I wouldn’t feel right voting yea or nay on it.
Also, as a member who has had his money stolen twice, once locally and once nationally ( oh sorry,nationally it was just mismanaged) I would still like to have the vacation fund as long as no one had any kind of access to the funds but myself. I put money into the credit union voluntarily also, but that out of sight out of mind money every 6 months was great.

I don’t think we will strike but setting up a rainy day fund is a good idea no matter what the case is we all need to save money.As far as the Hall setting up a vacation fund is not the answer for me. Iremmeber what happen to alot of the members last time we had one. I did’nt loose anything but alot of brother members did.
Back to the subject of striking over contract, if we use common sense on the issues of a new deal and what really matters I believe we can avoid the stike.

I have never been one to agree with the vacation fund. If there are people that want a vacation fund, then by all means let them have it but don’t think that everyone wants it. I don’t want to wait for money that belongs to me to be released when big brother sees fit for it to be released. If its voluntary fine. There may be a death in the family and a person needs access to more money. Whatever the case may be I have no problem managing my own money. Besides we have much larger problems to overcome. Do I need to start a new thread about “United we stand divided we fall”?
